Swiss Houte Route

The Swiss Houte Route is a very famous trekking trail. This would take 14 days from Mount Blanc , France to the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. The hiking and hut trip that Matt had found is a five day hiking experience that hits the end of the Houte Route and that would hit most of the highlights and views of the swiss alps. 

 Here is part of my journal from the first night in Switzerland;
I sit in the most amazing hotel that nestles into the side of the swiss alps. I am drinking a Swiss hot chocolate handmade here in the mountains. As we walked toward our hotel the sparkle of the mountain danced in my eyes and the weary journey of the last 36 hours walking-bus rides, train rides more hiking and a sleepless airplane ride have all melted away and we are over come with the beauty of God's mountain.

Our morning views.

there were no blow driers or curling irons for this girl for the entire 9 days.

 Matt couldn't help but drink in our fairytale accommodations and lazy morning.
